Chapter 1978 - 1978 1968 Master of the Five Elements

1978: Chapter 1968: Master of the Five Elements 1978: Chapter 1968: Master of the Five Elements Just as Long Yan entered the mysterious Small Gate, the Ninth Layer Space of the Nine-Star Tower suddenly erupted with a dazzling brilliance, displaying multicolored lights that painted the sky in a spectrum of peace and colors.

“That kid has entered the Ninth Layer Space,” they said in unison, followed immediately by wild joy.

Yang Elder, Yu Elder, and Wu Elder’s expressions trembled fiercely, speaking in unison, followed immediately by ecstasy.

The multicolored brilliance had erupted from the Ninth Layer Space, clearly indicating that the Ninth Layer Space, which had never been opened, had now been accessed.

There was only one possibility—Long Yan was recognized and had entered the Ninth Layer Space.

“Good, good, good, someone has finally been recognized!

That kid is indeed a genius!”

Yang Elder’s face was filled with ecstatic joy as he shouted praises as if he had found a priceless treasure.

“A genius has appeared once again in the Seven-Star Hall, a talent that surpasses the Holy King!”

Yu Elder was equally excited.

The Holy King had been unable to enter the Ninth Layer Space, but Long Yan had.

This proved that Long Yan’s talent surpassed that of a Holy King, making him a peerless genius.

“This time, those guys definitely have nothing to say!”

Wu Elder stated.

Long Yan had entered the Ninth Layer Space, proving himself a genius the likes of which had not been seen in ages.

No other Star Domain could possibly have such a genius, and this time, the newcomer competition in the Rocking Light Star Domain would suppress other star domains with absolute advantage.

At the same time, everyone present was startled by this sudden anomaly.

“What’s going on?”

“This multicolored light burst forth from the ninth layer of the Nine-Star Tower.

Could it be that someone has entered the Ninth Layer Space?”

“It must be so; someone has definitely entered the Ninth Layer Space.”

“It is rumored that the Ninth Layer Space of the Nine-Star Tower hides a secret, and only by entering the Ninth Layer Space can one obtain that secret.

Finally, someone has entered the Ninth Layer Space, but what exactly is this secret?”

“Who exactly entered the Ninth Layer Space?”

…

For a moment, everyone was alarmed by this sudden anomaly.

The multicolored light was clearly bursting forth from the Ninth Layer of the Nine-Star Tower; there was only one possibility—someone had entered the previously unexplored Ninth Layer Space.

“It’s brother!”

The Little Demon’s face lit up with joy, immediately guessing that it was Long Yan who had entered the Ninth Layer Space.

Luo Pin naturally thought of Long Yan entering the Ninth Layer Space as well, not out of anger, but rather a bit of happiness.

She wasn’t sure she could gain recognition to enter the Ninth Layer Space herself, but since Long Yan had, he would definitely obtain the secret within.

With her methods, she was confident she could extract that secret from Long Yan.

………………

“Is this the Ninth Layer Space of the Nine-Star Tower?”

Long Yan surveyed his surroundings, also somewhat surprised.

The area was a forest; his position was right next to a small stream, and not far ahead, there was a thatched cottage.

This scene resembled the dwelling place of a reclusive sage.

Long Yan even began to wonder if this place was indeed the Ninth Layer Space of the Nine-Star Tower.

“Child, you’ve finally arrived!”

Suddenly, an elderly voice emerged from the cottage, carrying a hint of kindness in its aged tone.

“Hmm?”

Long Yan frowned slightly and then asked, “Senior, are you calling me?”

There was no one else here; the person inside the cottage was undoubtedly calling him.

“Child, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.

Come inside.”

The elderly voice called out from the cottage once more.

After hesitating for a moment, Long Yan walked into the cottage.

The hut was very simple, with nothing else inside but two meditation mats.

One of these mats was occupied by an elderly man sitting cross-legged.

The elderly man’s face was weathered and he seemed to be on his last legs, dressed in a five-colored Dao robe.

He had no breath fluctuations around him, appearing like any ordinary old man.

“Long Yan pays his respects to the Senior!”

Long Yan bowed respectfully, not even daring to probe the old man’s breath.

This was definitely the ninth layer space of the Nine-Star Tower, and this elderly man was undoubtedly an undefeatable expert.

The elderly man nodded slightly and gestured.

Following the indication, Long Yan sat down cross-legged on the other meditation mat.

“You have come from Shenwu Continent and managed to reach this place in less than ten years, not bad!”

The elderly man looked at Long Yan with a benevolent expression, as if a grandfather was looking at his own grandson.

Long Yan’s gaze shifted slightly.

The old man in front of him seemed so familiar with him, which couldn’t help but make him vigilant.

“You need not be nervous.

I have no ill intentions towards you.

All the secrets you carry are no secrets to me.”

The elderly man said, “You are the Nine Suns Inheritor, and the chosen one of Ancestor Thunder’s will, right?”

His ability to see through Long Yan’s secrets seemed profound and inscrutable.

After hesitating for a moment, Long Yan nodded in acknowledgment.

Since the old man could see through it, there was no use in hiding it.

“Senior, may I ask boldly, who are you?”

Long Yan’s tone was respectful.

“I once left some things in Shenwu Continent, which you have found.

You have gained my will’s approval,”

the elderly man declared.

No sooner had the old man’s words fallen than five beams of light burst out from within Long Yan, transforming into five ancient characters: Birth, Annihilation, Swallow, Slash, Bury.

These five characters were the Five Word Mantra.

“The Five Word Mantra!

Senior, you are … the Master of the Five Elements!”

Long Yan trembled in his heart, guessing the identity of the old man.

Given that the Five Word Mantra was left by the old man on Shenwu Continent, this elderly figure must indeed be the former owner of the Innate Five Elements True Fire, the Master of the Five Elements.

The elderly man nodded; he was indeed the Master of the Five Elements.

“Senior, why do you appear in the Nine-Star Tower?”

Long Yan asked.

At this moment, he understood.

The secret of the Nine-Star Tower was the Master of the Five Elements.

But why would the Master of the Five Elements appear in the Nine-Star Tower?

Could there be some connection between the Master of the Five Elements and the Seven-Star Hall?

“To wait for you,”

the Master of the Five Elements said.

The Nine-Star Tower was merely a replica.

Originally, the Master of the Five Elements had entrusted the Nine-Star Tower to the Ancestral Master of the Seven-Star Hall to select disciples, also waiting for Long Yan.

“Senior, you are not thinking of reclaiming the Innate Five Elements True Fire, are you?”

Long Yan said with a smile, hinting at probing.

The Innate Five Elements True Fire originally belonged to the Master of the Five Elements, and if the Master wished to reclaim it, there was nothing he could do.

“The Innate Five Elements True Fire was left for you.

I had already perished in the End of World Calamity; the Innate Five Elements True Fire serves no purpose for me any longer,”

the Master of the Five Elements said with a smile, dispelling Long Yan’s concerns.

Like Ancestor Thunder and the War God, he had experienced the End of World Calamity and perished during it, leaving behind only a remnant of his will.

“Child, Ancestor Thunder chose you, and I have chosen you as well.

I am here waiting for you to pass on my legacy,”

the Master of the Five Elements told Long Yan, revealing his true purpose.

Although it was the first time he met Long Yan, Long Yan was the inheritor selected by his mysterious will.

He was his true successor.
